§ Mr. David Hanson (Delyn)I beg leave to present a petition on behalf of Mrs. Joan Henley of 2 The Woodlands, Bryn Celin, Holywell, signed by 2,000 friends of Ysgol Bro Carmel primary school in Holywell to express their concern over the rate support grant settlement for Wales, particularly its effect on education and the cuts that will result in my constituency and Clwyd. The petition reads:
§ To the honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled.
§ The humble petition of the friends of Ysgol Bro Carmel Sheweth that the petitioners feel that the 1995–96 rate support grant settlement for Wales is unsatisfactory.
§ Wherefore your petitioners pray that your honourable House reject the 1995–96 settlement and the rate cap.
§ And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
§ I shall show my support for the aspirations of the petition in the Lobby tomorrow night.
§ To lie upon the Table.
